Question

I have no idea what to do with this!

Given the function g(x) = 4x - 5, compare and contrast g(2) and g(-4). Choose the statement that is true concerning these two values.
Answer

The value of g(2) is smaller than the value of g(-4).

The values of g(2) and g(-4) cannot be compared.

The value of g(2) is larger than the value of g(-4).

The value of g(2) is the same as the value of g(-4).

Answer 1

Replace x in g(x) with 2 and then -4. Should be easy once you've done that.

Answer 2

The second one. :c

Answer 3

Sorry misread. Nope.

Answer 4

g(2) means "x=2"
--> g(2)=4*2-5=3

g(-4) means "x=-4"
--> g(-4)=4*(-4)-5=-21

The value of g(2) is smaller than the value of g(-4).
--> g(2) < g(-4)
--> 3 < -21
--> False

The values of g(2) and g(-4) cannot be compared.
--> False because 3 and -21 can be compared.

The value of g(2) is larger than the value of g(-4).
-->g(2) > g(-4)
-->3 > -21
-->True

The value of g(2) is the same as the value of g(-4).
-->g(2)=g(-4)
-->3=-21
-->False

So the answer is "The value of g(2) is larger than the value of g(-4)."
